Chapter Forty-Three: The Mountain Rain is Coming and the Wind Fills the Building (X)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings (X).
"Actually, for you, if you say one thing now and say a hundred things, your status in the eyes of the Martial Saint General and the Abolished Prince is the same. If you let them have their hands free, do you think your family will be able to keep it? In fact, if you don't say it, I also know who that person is, and she can enter and exit General Tang's study in the city and in Zhuangzi, and her identity is obvious. And she thought she had avoided the guards, not really. ”
Hong Yuqiang smiled bitterly, Yes, I think I am smart, but in fact, people have known it for a long time. The hundred-year-old Tang family, if they don't even have this ability, how can they stand.
"You don't have to worry about it, I just need you and your mother to do something for me now, and I will atone for my sins. Although the Tang family has rules for dealing with traitors, but the old lady is here, if you and Mama Hong can help us, I think the old lady will agree to a lighter punishment. ”
Chen Biyan nodded seriously: "Do what Lian'er said." If it does, I will save the lives of your family. ”
Since you have betrayed your master, you will naturally have to be punished. But Tang Zhuang is above board, unlike that side, I don't know what kind of tricks are bad. He quickly figured this out, and resolutely raised his head and looked at Lian'er: "Old lady, Miss Cousin, if you let the villain atone for his sins, the villain will definitely do his best." ”
The headlights of the gathering hall were lit until after the third watch, before everyone dispersed, Mrs. Tang finally remembered the box of expensive jewelry, which was worth 100,000 taels of silver, how could she cheapen the third child and the poor woman who came over, so she reprimanded him with deep hatred, and even said that it was obtained by the third young master who was greedy for the money of the princess. As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and even the guards on duty outside the hall were surprised. Although the third young master is a little romantic, he is very easy-going with them, and he looks like a very upright master. In the cursing sound of Mrs. Tang shouting and grabbing the sky, Miss Bai Jiabiao did not make a sound, and even the old lady was silent. In the silence of the night, the shouting spread far and wide, and all the servants and guards who heard it were distracted by curiosity.
At this moment, a mysterious black shadow entered the courtyard of the third young master, rummaged in it for a long time, and then came out disappointed, and was about to go to the study, but found that the gathering hall was quiet, and everyone dispersed. She hid quietly in the tree on the side of the road, and listened to Mrs. Tang take the maid back to the room, and talked as she went. I only heard Mama Liu say angrily: "Didn't this old lady and that white girl deliberately make your wife happy?" I can't see your good, and deliberately fix your stubble. She had already said that it was left by her aunt and grandmother, who would take it as a thief. ”
"Shut up, it's all because you old man didn't think well that he let them take advantage of the loophole, and they were almost calculated by the Hong family and her son."
"How did the old slave know that the Hong family would be like this, it stands to reason that she and the old slave have been with you for almost thirty years, I really didn't expect it. Hmm, but you said the talisman would be there? The Hong family said that she had also searched for it in our house, and she had also searched for the study of the lord in the city. I hope the master hides in a safe place, and don't let people steal it, otherwise the lives of this family will be on the top. This old man is often absent, and he should explain to you anyway, in case there is anything, you can deal with it. Like today, let's send someone to put that thing away. ”
Mrs. Tang was very disappointed, Tang Lan usually wouldn't tell her anything about business, and this kind of thing wouldn't be handed over to her.
"It's not your business." She naturally knew that this matter was not trivial, but Tang Lan didn't trust her, and the old lady didn't trust her either. In today's bureau, she was going to pick up the third child and the demon girl, but she was laughed at: "I just didn't expect the third child and the old woman to trust that Miss Cousin so much." ”
"Madam, you said that the master has been busy lately, and he is always not on Zhuangzi, and Sanshao also goes out often, so it is impossible to bring such important things, do you say that the things will be in the hands of Miss Biao. She didn't say it just now, but you can see how nervous she looks when she mentions the talisman. ”
"It's possible, she's fragrant and sweet now, and the old and young in this village are holding her. Hopefully she'll hide that thing. Mrs. Tang's tone became deeper and lower, and she seemed unusually depressed. Also, any husband and wife who has been married for twenty or thirty years, her husband's trust in her is not as good as that of an outsider, and it is inevitable that she will not be disappointed.
As the group faded away, she remained still in the shade of the trees, thinking for a moment before speeding down another path. From a distance, Lian'er came out of the Juyan Hall with the two Jingwei of the Hundred Flowers Hall, holding the jewelry box tightly in her hands. She had searched the courtyard again, but she still hadn't found any trace of the talisman, and the only box she had taken with her before she went. And looking at how nervous the watch lady was about this box of jewelry, she felt that something was wrong. The white girl is not a person who cares about these things, the eldest young master tries his best to send her as many expensive jewelry items as he tries to give her every year, and she confiscates them, how can she treasure this box so much?
A strong wind blew, lifting Lian'er's skirt and flying in the wind, she unconsciously held the jewelry box tighter in her arms, but somehow, her feet were soft, she leaned forward, and almost fell out, Jingwei next to her hurriedly helped her, but when helping her, she seemed to touch her elbow and fell the jewelry box to the ground. The jewelry was scattered all over the place, especially some of the bracelet earrings were round and rolled down in the grass on the side of the road. It was difficult to find the three people with lanterns. When he was busy, a black shadow fell, snatched the box in Lian'er's hand, and picked up the mezzanine exposed by the fall, revealing a half-moon-shaped object inside. Due to the suddenness, and Jingwei didn't expect the jewelry box to have a mezzanine, By the time they reacted to make a move, the black shadow had already drifted away, took the half-moon-shaped token, and threw the box as a weapon, hitting a Jingwei. After a few ups and downs, she completely disappeared into the night. When she was leaving, she heard Lian'er's voice trembling a little, obviously extremely nervous: "Chen Fang, you hurry up and inform the Third Young Master and General Tang that the token has been robbed, let them find a way to stop it as soon as possible." Chenye, you send an emergency signal, let the Jingwei within a radius of three miles quickly intercept all the people who can wait, no matter what, you can't let that thing flow out. ”
She pursed her lips in defiance and smiled in secret. Don't dare to say it in other places, Tang Zhuang, she has been lurking here for too long, and she has prepared more than one emergency escape path.
Tang Lan, who was busy in Xianyang City, soon received a letter that several groups of people were coming for the military talisman, and the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was Qu Hong, who had been dormant by his side for more than ten years. He was still in the capital that year, because Mrs. Tang was too mean to Xinjie, causing the child who was not yet ten years old to quietly run away from home on Chinese New Year's Eve in the snow, and after a quarrel with Mrs. Tang, he sent Li Shi back to Dongtingbo Mansion.
Dong Tingbo also knew that his daughter was at a loss, but if his daughter was divorced, he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he tried every means to save his son-in-law. Because he was in the court, and for the sake of the Tang family, he couldn't do things too desperately, and finally did not give the letter of resignation to the Li family, but he refused to take her home. Dong Tingbo maneuvered in many ways, hoping that the two sides could ease up, and even did not hesitate to let his son take Tang Lan to Lefang for recreation, and gave him the red card at that time, and sent him to the Tang Mansion to redeem him. This is Qu Hong.
However, he was not only angry with Li Shi in his heart, but also felt that he owed Yanyan, so he never accepted Qu Hong. A few years earlier, he returned the deed of sale to Qu Hong and let her go. However, Qu Hong was unwilling, and just wanted to wait with him for pen and ink. He also felt that Qu Hong left alone, and it might be difficult to survive, so he didn't force her, just let her stay, and if he met the right person, he could marry at any time. It's just that this stay is more than ten years. He was used to Qu Hong tidying up the study and chores for him. In his mind, Qu Hong already existed like a family member, and now he suddenly told him that Qu Hong had been ordered to steal the talisman, and he felt more or less lost in his heart.
In the Tang family, whether it is a steward or a servant, all the children of the family have been apprenticed in the Tang Sect since childhood, and they are capable and loyal to the Tang Sect. It is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate, and the easiest way is only through in-laws, and the attendants who come with them. Therefore, for many years, the Tang family has been a mysterious existence to the outside world, and the main reason is that outsiders can rarely come in. And Qu Hong is a special existence among these people.
In addition to the loss, he also has a lot of doubts, Qu Hong has been by his side for more than ten years, At that time, Yixiang was still young, how could a thirteen-year-old child be so well-arranged? So if she wasn't instructed by Yixiang, who was her master?
